Mal: Never did, myself.
Sheriff Bourne: Right. Your uncle. And it was indicated to you that, uh, Joey had an opening?
Mal: Any job would do.
Sheriff Bourne: It's funny your Uncle never went to mentioning the Bowden's problem. Or that Joey Bloggs ate his own gun 'bout eight months back.
Mal: Did he?
Sheriff Bourne: Yep. Blew the back of his head right off.
[long pause]
Mal: So... would his job be open?”
